Mike Stern / Italy 07.15.1991 FM Broadcast Edition

This is a highly coveted live recording for fans, capturing a rare performance from a 1991 European tour—specifically in Reggio Emilia, Italy—sourced from broadcast-quality audio that rivals official releases. True to the title “Standard,” the setlist features classics such as “On Green Dolphin Street,” “Airegin,” “In a Sentimental Mood,” and “Sonnymoon for Two.” When playing standards, Mike typically holds back on his signature heavy overdrive, opting instead for a chorus-effect tone; he follows this same approach here. That said, he still unleashes full-on overdrive during “Airegin” and “Sonnymoon for Two.” Additionally, Lincoln Goines is given ample room for bass solos—a rarity in most performances, making this a unique opportunity to hear so much of his solo work. Live at Teatro Ariosto, Reggio Emilia, Italy (1991). 1. On Green Dolphin Street 2. Airegin 3. In a Sentimental Mood 4. Sonnymoon For Two. Mike Stern (g), Lincoln Goines (b), Ben Perowsky (dr).
